Pogona lizards are medium to large lizards which can reach lengths of up to 60 cm. They look a bit like miniature dragons. Related to iguanas, Pogona lizards are only found in the wild in Australia. Their many spikes are one of their characteristic features. The rows of spikes present on their lower jaws are how the Pogona lizard got their nickname, "bearded dragon."
